OpenRoads (a.k.a. OpenFlow Wireless) won the best poster at SIGCOMM this year.  This platform can be thought of as the wireless extensions of OpenFlow.  The OpenRoads platform has been developed to support our vision for the future mobile Internet (as described in a technical report “Blueprint for Introducing Innovation into the Wireless Networks we use every day“).  Our long term goal is for others to innovate in their production wireless network using OpenFlow.

The OpenRoads Team

n-casting between WiFi-WiMAX using OpenRoads is an example of our vision.  It was also part of SIGCOMM’s best demonstration.  An improved demonstration was shown in Mobicom and won honorable mention.  This demonstration has been shown in several other occasions, such as the OpenFlow workshop at Stanford.  If you have not yet seen the demonstration, a video of it is available on this website.

Now you are also able to reproduce this demonstration.  We are proud to make this demonstration available to the community.  This includes instructions for the physical setup and streaming server.  We have also made available the source code for the network controller, wireless client and visualization.  More importantly, we make OpenFlow Wireless available to public, to promote innovation in the wireless networks we use every day.

n-casting and OpenFlow Wireless are made available to you by the team pictured above, with the help of many others.
